@SpidyAtletico Check the shots alone, Atleti got dominated. Barça's real issue is finishing the chances

[fut_101 @fut101_]

@TrueAFCNews fair stat but clean sheets can flatter a side that rarely gets pinned in its own box, and the real test is what happens when a team actually sits in and makes them break it down!

[fut_101 @fut101_]

@RealityLfc Eh, confidence didn't keep a 1-0 clean sheet on its own. A side that stays compact and limits shots in the box is doing the hard part

[fut_101 @fut101_]

@ballontheline Odegaard's finish was the difference but the control is the part that matters. A clean sheet while keeping the ball against a side that sits deep is the boring stat that actually tells you something about the shape.

@kick_n_rusuh @Arsenal Watch how Arsenal wore Hull down before Ødegaard's 72nd minute finish, the goal was the payoff for the pressure

[fut_101 @fut101_]

@OptaAnalyst Honestly the sub story is the least interesting bit here. Leeds pinned Spurs back for 45 minutes and Okafor just finished what they had already set up. Spurs were broken long before he came on

[fut_101 @fut101_]

@tobylonge @Arsenal Short corners rarely end in a shot, and the recycled pass to the edge of the box is usually where the chance dies. Rice's delivery is the repeatable weapon here. Why keep switching it off?

[fut_101 @fut101_]

@iamAlexHowell Were those crosses coming from a set shape or from the fullbacks getting isolated 1v1 out wide? That tells you whether the start is structural or just the opponent sitting off

[fut_101 @fut101_]

@ballwizhq 6 changes at Hull and the number that matters is how many of the first XI's pressing triggers survive the rotation. Rotation only hurts when the shape breaks.

[fut_101 @fut101_]

@Top5FootballHQ Leeds were the side pressing and Okafor took the one chance that mattered. Spurs need to show they can break a team that sits deep before this turns into a pattern

[fut_101 @fut101_]

@EPL_Goleador 9 unbeaten at Elland Road, 14 scored and only 4 conceded. Four draws is the soft spot, but 5 wins from 9 means the home form is still doing the heavy lifting. Would be interesting to see the home xG split to know if this holds.

[fut_101 @fut101_]

@SimonGloverlfc9 @Liverpool @adidas @premier @shelley Which midfield actually holds up against Palace's press if this XI starts, and has anyone checked how many minutes those players have had lately

[fut_101 @fut101_]

@footytalksco Pull up his shot map before getting carried away with this

[fut_101 @fut101_]

@Game_on002 fifth in the table on goals scored is loud, but a hot finishing run doesn't make a side good. Barry's brace is great, though the chances Everton create over a full season are what decides whether this lasts!

[fut_101 @fut101_]

@DeadlineDayLive Versatile is usually code for unsure where he fits

[fut_101 @fut101_]

@MrMommy13 Check the xG table before you put that on record

[fut_101 @fut101_]

@DougieCritchley Is this more about fitness or the timing of the subs? Both late goals came when the legs were clearly gone.

[fut_101 @fut101_]

@TouchlineX Dominance is one word for it, but Atlético's performance was poor by any measure. Keeping Álvarez around while the rest of the side sagged was the wrong call. Selling him and building a better team around the money would've been smarter.

[fut_101 @fut101_]

@AlbertOrtegaES1 This guy is always embarrassing himself. Who is he?

[fut_101 @fut101_]

@TouchlineX Barça treating Villa like a bottom table La Liga team. This Barcelona team would certainly dominate the Premier League, anyone saying otherwise is lying to themselves.
